StaticSitesClient failure when using swa deploy

[tbdoug]

Hello, we are getting a deployment error when trying to use "swa deploy" to deploy our static website to Azure. We have tried the workaround suggested of editing a JS file in the SWA deployment folder (adding a couple of lines) to no avail. Please advise on any suggestions.
